Deal or No Deal
Is this a good deal:
2006 Pontiac Solstice Convertible with custom wheels Convertible - City of Toronto Cars For Sale - Kijiji City of Toronto Canada.

I know cars cost more up there, so I would think it is a fair deal. Not a fan of them, as my buddy customized one....so I know them pretty well. I had another friend sell his Sky a few weeks ago. Dealer gave him a top dollar trade as his had 850 miles on it...lol I didn't care for the Sky either. Everything seems to be so cheap looking. The top especially... but, for that price, I would drive it....
There's only been one in the past couple of months go through an auction anywhere in Canada, and it was in Vancouver where cars generally are a little higher in price than here in the east. With 59,626 kms it sold wholesale for $9,900.00 so that makes the price on this one look pretty good. You need to adjust for the additional km's on this one, but overall it seems to be priced OK.
Have you read reviews on these cars? They look good, but criticisms have been that they are underpowered, ride rough, and don't handle well. They may be a roadster but they are a long way away from being a Crossfire.

Just for kicks, I pulled into a Cadillac dealer's used car lot a couple of weeks ago next to a 2006 Solstice. The salesman came out and I told him my wife was interested, so he gave me the song & dance. At the end, I asked him :
"Why are you asking $18,500 for a car that is not even close to my 2005 Xfire which I paid $15.5 for 2 years ago?"
Here's some things I noticed :
The top is MANUAL !!!
There is NO trunk.
The seats are uncomfortable.
It is very hard to get in and out of.
The transmission was an auto, but not Tiptronic.
You can only get a 4 cyl engine.
The mileage is about 22 at best
